Don: Hi, Mary! How was your trip to France?

Mary: It was great! Shopping in Paris, croissants for breakfast, boat trips down the Seine…

Don: What about the sights?

Mary: I visited the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.

Don: Wow! The Louvre!

Mary: I know you are a passionate art lover, Don. I'm sure you'd love to see the Mona Lisa.

Don: Of course, I would. What's it like? Did you like it?

Mary: It was a strange experience, Don. You expect to see something extraordinary. But when you come to it, you see just an ordinary picture of an ordinary woman in dull clothes with a landscape in the background. I mean, it's a good painting, of course, but why has it become so popular?

Don: Yes, it's a great painting. It shows Leonardo's great skill in using sfumato, a special technique which involves softening the transition between colours. But technique alone is not enough to make a painting so popular. I think it's because of the woman. Her identity has never been fully discovered, and people love mysteries.

Mary: Why, she is said to be Lisa del Giocondo, the wife of a Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo.

Don: That's just one of the many viewpoints. People still go on speculating on who she was. There was even an idea that she was a vampire. And the artist himself was a very mysterious person. He was a scientist, an engineer, an inventor, a sculptor and an architect, and his ideas were far ahead of his epoch. His enigmatic personality contributed greatly to the popularity of the painting.
